About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full length standing portrait shows two young sons of the Banī Shaybah family, gatekeepers of the Caaba.
The two boys stand side-by-side in matching light-coloured outer robes, which are embroidered at the lapels; under their outer robes each of the boys wears a patterned jalabiya . These garments appear to be cut from the same cloth, except that the pattern is inverted.
The boy on the left wears a pale-coloured turban but the boy on the right wears a keffiyeh held in place by an agal.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded quality in places. In particular, the background appears to have been substituted.
